Russia should start to bomb Islamic State positions with terrorist bodies tied up to drones, said Ramzan Kadyrov, president of Russia's restive republic of Chechnya, on his VKontakte social network page Tuesday.
“I propose attaching detained terrorists to drones attacking IS positions and dropping them on their accomplices heads,” Kadyrov said.
Тhe Chechen leader said that no trials are needed to prove terrorists' guilt.
He also called on law enforcement officials to use all their resources to hunt those responsible for the attack on Kogalymavia flight 9268 over the Sinai Peninsula on Oct. 31.
On Monday Kadyrov announced that nearly 500 Chechens had joined the Islamic State terrorist organization, the RIA Novosti news agency reported.
Of the Chechens who have allegedly traveled to fight alongside the Islamic State, 200 men have already been killed, Kadyrov said, RIA reported. He did not specify where he obtained his estimate.
In an October interview with the Rossiya 24 television channel, Kadyrov proposed canceling the death penalty moratorium in the case of terrorists, saying that it is not right to put them in jail because they start recruiting new terrorists behind bars.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
